WARNING: THIS MOD REQUIRES PATCHOULI & NEOFORGE TO WORK.

Ravenous Maw is a mod that allows you to tame a living monster that gradually mutates over time. If you can earn its obedience, it becomes a powerful omni-tool that can be shaped and enhanced through Feasts and Mutagens using the Mutation Matrix.

Your Maw is alive—and hungry. You can regenerate (repair) it by feeding it Feasts through any crafting apparatus, so don’t forget to keep the beast well-fed. To advance your Maw through its stages, you must defeat the following bosses in order:

• Ender Dragon
• Wither
• Warden

Ravenous Maw adds:

• Multiple questionable food options called Feasts (they’re for the Maw, not for you)
• Four Ravenous Maw variants, each with their own unique stage
• 10 Mutations, each with unique abilities and instabilities
• A block called the Mutation Matrix for applying Mutations
• An in-game guidebook: Mutation Codex
• A crafting ingredient called Contaminated Core

Development

Ravenous Maw is my first Minecraft mod and is completely open-source. You’re welcome to check out the source code here—though I can’t promise it won’t hurt your eyes.

Due to hardware limitations (yes, I’m running on a potato), the mod hasn’t been tested as extensively as I’d like. Please expect the occasional bug. If you encounter any issues, feel free to report them on the GitHub repository. Feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated.

This mod is inspired by Tinkers’ Construct and JustDireThings.

Future Goals

• Fixing bugs and leaving the beta stage
• Adding configuration options
• Replacing vanilla Mutagens with more interesting Mutagenic Gadgets
• Introducing bosses and mobs to expand the staging progression
• Improving acquisition methods
• Enhancing the GUI
• Adding a Feast Smoker block for a more immersive Feast-crafting experience
• A wiki page to provide detailed documentation, progression guides, and mutation breakdowns
